hwmon: (max1111) Return -ENODEV from max1111_read_channel if not instantiated

commit 3c2e2266a5bd2d1cef258e6e54dca1d99946379f upstream.

arm:pxa_defconfig can result in the following crash if the max1111 driver
is not instantiated.

This can occur because the SPI controller driver (SPI_PXA2XX) is built as
module and thus not necessarily loaded. While building SPI_PXA2XX into the
kernel would make the problem disappear, it appears prudent to ensure that
the driver is instantiated before accessing its data structures.
